2 Aluminum Pads ON...

How scary is this horse?

12/27 eased after being only 30 lengths off of a 23 and 4 quarter mile in the mud. So he sauntered through his opening quarter in just under 30 seconds.
1/19 "broke down" after he flew through an opening quarter of 26 and 3, which obviously was too much for this 9YO to endure.
Now after a 47 and 4 half mile drill and a BULLET (fastest of 32) 3f blow out in 36 flat he comes back for the trainer who sent him out to a very narrow loss to Lethimthinkhesboss, one of the top choices in today's race.

This in no way is an endorsement for him as a win candidate, but stranger things have happened.

what is even more amazing is that after opening up at 15-1, he dropped to 11-1 and hung around 11, 12, 13-1 up until the last few flashes...

He's entered right back for Sunday at the Big A. What a recovery.
